FRIDAY JAN 11 1901
BE PUBLICAN METHODS
The unscrupulous methods adopt
er by the local Republican party
during the recont oampatgn have
opened the eyes to the true charac
ter of the men ho at all times in
the history of Hawaii have espoused
a policy of rule and ruin The vir
tuous and patriotio republicans in
the States of the Union bovo set a
shining example in the lino of cor
ruption for our local pettifogging
politician to follow Bribery ou a
small sotle promises ou a large
scale and cajolery and ti rents have
been their stock in trade but they
will soon learn a trick or two from
men of the stamp of Mark Hantia
who will stop at nothing to gain his
point At an illustration we will
show by hat methods Richard P
Feltigrew was defeated ad Senator
for South Dakota
Mark Hanna desired Pettigrews
defeat at nny prino because the Sen
ator for South Dakota is a man who
could neither bo bribed or bullied
ino being made a tool by Hannas
tnnehinennd Hanna knew how to go
to work about the business without
spending a cent out of his own
pocket or out of the funds of the
Central Committee
There are a large number of In
dians in South Dakota Of them
the Sisseton and Wahpeton bands
have become citizens of the United
tates and have acquired the elec
Mranchise About 8000 of them
qualified as voters and regis
tered and these Indiana hold the
balance of power in the tate
Sanator Hanna wanted to secure the
support of the Indians who vote
solidly together but he was not
quite certain which was the best
way in which to go about it He
found out that one John Eastman
s full blooded Indian educated at
Dartmouth was looked upon as the
absolute boas of the Indians and
controlled their full votes Eastman
was sent for aud met Mark Hanna
in Chicago Eastman is evidently
not a fool and be soon realized that
he was a neoesaity to Hanna if Pet
tigrew na to be defeated and he
made his terms aooordingy East
man and the other Indians are deep
ly interested in the Sisseton aud
Wahpeton annuities funds which
were suspended in 1863 and he de
manded the restitution of these
funds from 1863 to the present
The sum involved amounts to
1900000 It was a big amount to
pay evn for Pattigrows defeat but
Hanna reokoned that as the money
would come out of the public treas
ury there were no reasons why he
and the Republican party shouldnt
be generous A bargain was struck
in consequence of which Eastman
marohed his 8000 Indians to the
polls and saw them vote for Mark
Hannaa candidate and Mark Hanna
will now force an aot through Con
gress appropriating 1900000 for
the Sisseton and Wahpeton Indians
per John Eastman The shrewd
Indian is in vadiington making
life a burden to Mark Hanua whose
ribs he tiokles daily with his politic
al tomahawk asking him how
about those twoSmillions Will
Mark Hanna keep his promise is a
question watched with ioteroet in
South Dakota as well as in Wash
ington
TOPICS OF THE DAY
Why is it that there is such an un
it an at scarcity of oh in Houolulu
We should that the farmers at Wahi
awa and other small laud holders
oould raise milUuieut poultry to
keep the inirkot supplied with eggs
No oue eei ms to oare going into the
raising of chickens on a big busi
ness 6B ilc and in spite of the avail
able laud aud ftuiliuei on Oahu we
notice the humiliating fact that
California ogga are cheaper aud
more pluutiful than are the produce
of thi island We cau talk aud
write about diversified industries
and advauce all possible IbeoriwF
the fact rt inainn that we import
everything from California in the
line of vegetable fruits poultry
egg bnttbr anil all other neces
saries of life which the rich soil of
Hawaii noi ought tu produou in
abuudauce
The plan of the haole politicians
who Ve smarting uudsr the politi
cal supremacy if the Hawaiian is
to eucourage imuiigraiou of whito
voters to the hhtuds For that pur
pose they propone to assess the su
gar plantations Ii ty cents per ton
of sugar which would rneau a fuud
of 51 500000 to be uBcd to induce
white voters to go to Hawaii and
apparently wotk ou the plantations
Aa women aud children cannot
vote it is intended to bring men
ody With the sum mentioned we
have no doubt that the politicians
cau accomplish their object aud at
tho urxt election the Hawsiians
may not bo in the majority That
such an influx of white men without
families and of a class who is will
ing to immigrate to HadeB for a
consideration will mean disaster to
the Territory cuts no ice with the
noble patriotio politicians They
will be the bosses and as far as
the BUgar barons are concerned they
care nothing for Hawaii except as
far as she is dividend yielding coun
try The sugar organ will of course
say that Mich a plan as we have men
tioned has never been contemplated
Wb happen to know better and are
posted even to the details of the
program It is considered tho
cheapest aud easiest method to
down the Hawaiians and at the
same time get some kind of labor
for the plantations
Those people who were disap
pointed because the inevitable hap
pened and Wilcox was electc d Dele
gate as tho choice of the Territory
felt euro that he wouldnt be seated
or if ha was that he would be totally
ignored The Dole organ said that
he would walk around rs a lonely
man and looked upon as a curiosity
whioh occasionally would provoke
some mirth in the dignified halls of
Congress Tuings turned out very
differently however Wilcox was
not ainue sejteu tint received a
hearty welcome from Congressmen
of all parties The courtesits due
his position were at once extended
to him aud to the surprise of the
people here who have vilified and
ridiculed him he in the only repre
sentative of Hawaii known to offi
cialdom iu Washington Secretary
Cooper may tom elaborate reports
aud bills to Congress but none of
them will be referred to nny com
mittee until it has patsod through
the hands of Delegate Wilcox and
received his approval Tho com
mittees and tho ofiicialHwill neitber
know Haywood nor J F Brown If
those two gentlemen hiiveany meas
ure to lay before Congress they
must f o to Wilcox aud jL his goad
offices in furthering thair missions
It is humiliating of course but tho
worst part of it is that the Repub
licans in Congreui onjoy tho discom
fit uro of tho Dolo ring hugely and
are only too willing to rub it in
Mr Dole is no longer person a grata
with MoKinloy and the friends of
Hawaii in Congress They consid
ered it his duy to fcoro a Republi
can victory at tho fiist oloction iu
Hawaii at d ho failed to fulfill his
promise as did McKinloya friptid
Colonel Parker McKinley has
good causo to feel sore He has
been made a fool of aud ho stauds
before tho country as a man who
either has imposed nu the people
wheu he said the Hawaiians wanted
annexation or been imposed upon
by eiiiup speculating tricksters from
the cannibal islands Tho defeat of
the Republicans in Hawaii will be
ued against McKiuley rf Congresp
in tho press hostile to uiipprialicui
and at tho next election McKiuIxy
naturally blames DoIp although it
would perhaps be tnoro jut if he
put tho blame on himself as being
the man who appoiuted Dolo The
eletion news from Porto Rico were
nearly as unpleasant as those from
Hawaii In Porto Rieo there was a
military government in control and
we know what that mrans on an
election day Aboiit 110 COO voteis
had registered The Ilepuulioaus
won the day of course but about
60000 men stayed away frcm the
polls as a tamt protest against the
forced annexation of tho inland
They dved not put up Porto Hicau
candidate call thorn independents
and vote for them because they
have a wholesome fear of the Am
erican soldiery but their refusal to
vote was an bitter a pill to swallow
for Emperor MclCinley as was the
viotory of the Iudepeudents in Ha
waii
It would bo welcome nows iudeed
if tho Tramways Co and the Ripid
Transit Company would consoli
date and tho city get the benefit of
the eleclrio cars Wheu the Rtpid
Transit was started we realized tbst
it was a game of bluff to snll the
charter to Pain or buy tho Tram
ways Company out at a small
figure Iaiu couldnt bn bluffed
however and if the Rapid Transit
people wieh to make a paying busi
ness they will have to consolidate
with the mule line and pay hand
